RAILWAY BRAIN.
The AmIctiOn of Railroad Employees, Against Which Employers Should Provide.


 Against Which Employers Should
 Provide.
 From the Medical News.l
 At recent meeting of the society of phy- sicians of the Cha1ite hospital in Berlin described as one of ''railway brain," neu- rosis resembling in many respects the condi- tion already well known under the name of 'railway spine" A healthy railway em- ploye, aged thirty, without history of alco- holism, or of any predisposing neurotic con- dition, by the sudden motion of his train was thrown violently against the side of a car, striking his head. He sustained no wound and at the time of injury conscious ness was preserved. Some hours afterward, however, he was suddenly seized with syn cope, with mental terror, lost ali sense of To- cation. could not recognize the simplest fa- miliaI object, and described what he saw er- roneously; his one objective symptom was absolute anassthssia of the entire body. On the fourth day after his injury he had vio- lent headaches, pulse rate of forty-four, and in addition to the cutaneous ansesthesia, loss of olfactory and taste sensations, with difficult hearing. Ca the fifth day the psychic symptoms suddenly ceased, he could remember nothing which had happened, and had no explanation for his condition. The patient subsequently became very melancholic, omplaining of insomnia, head ache, spinal pain, weariness and failure of appetite; no sen -ations of terror disor dered dreams were present. The objective symptoms remaining were we'll marked cra- nial and spinal hyperassthesia; failure to dis tinguish between white and colors; loss of smell aud taste, and impaired hearing; numbness, and at times paresis and spasms of the region supplied by the facial nerve were also present. He was discharged from afterward his condition was unchanged; he and weakness. Thomsen's diagnosis was disturbance of cerebral functions from shock
 The increase ill mechanical appliances, and the immense extension of railways, afford abundant opportunities for observation of nervous shock, both in it's fatal and milder forms. While post-mortem demonstration of hemorrhage and structural lesions eX- plains the course of these cases when fatal, it is evident that we must rely upon the con- tinued observation of surviving patients to determine the development of lesions which will illustrate the pathology of this condi- ton. The possibility of the production of degenerative changes in nervous matter, and cerebral conditions causing permanent men- tai impairment, Is an interesting question for neurologists, and, in it's medco legal aspects, for the corporation whose property may cause snch injuries to their patrons and em- ployes.

Colonel Carroll D. Wright, chief of the bu- reau of labor statistics, presents some strong reasons for the abolition of the factory sys- tenn from the prisons and the adoption of hand labor which will be instructive as well as reformatory. Such labor is in the line of manual training in the schools. In the factory system the convict may do one thing, such as heeling shoes, throughout his whole term, and that one thing may be so small part of 8 trade that it would be difficult for him to make his living at it after leaving the prison. Under the hand labor system, however, he would learn some thing worth knowing which would be useful to him as an employment after leaving the prison. Under the present system the con viet is only a part of machine. Under the hand labor system he must train his brains and hands to a variety of occupations, which might lead to honest employment after his. release

 The confirmation by the Supreme court of Illinois of the death sentence of the Chicago Anarchists is announced. There is little doubt in any part of the country that these men deserve death at the hands of the law
 ''The southern whites, sooner or later, will learn that it is cheaper and better to do the right thing at first rather than be driven to it afterwards, by public opinion, as in the case of the Glenn bill in Georgia" says the Southern Leader, a so1ored mans paper of Jacksonville, Florida. Experience and time will always prove that human taste, hatred and love cannot be regulated by law. law against mixed marriages or mixed schools does not restrain white men from corrupting colored women, and so long as those who make such laws break them them selves in dishonorable manner they are bound to prove impotent and pernicious."
 A man named Jellink, living at Tabor, in Bohemia, was in 1881 sentenced to death for attempting to poison his wife. The sentence was quashed through a technicality, 8 new trial took place, and the man was sentenced to sixteen years penal servitude His wife had in the meantime emigrated to America, and there she declared before an Austrian consul that her husband was innocent and that she had herself poisoned her food to get authorities were 10th to believe this story, fearing collusion; but after considerable de- lay new trial was ordered, and it has com pletely established Jellink's innocence. As perjury is not an extraditable offence, Mime. Jellink will escape all punishment for the false swearing which kept her husband six years in prison.
 Andrew D. White has this to say of the Democratic party and civil service reform: President Cleveland cannot turn out Demo- cratic officials for interfering in politics-for he would have to turn them all out sooner or later. The President has nothing to build on in the Democratic party when he under takes to bring about civil service reform. With very few exceptions the members of the party are opposed to it. The Democratic party in the last twenty-five years has grad  ually accumulated in its ranks all the reac. tionary clements of our population. They can have no sympathy with civil service re- form, nor, indeed: any reform. No enlight- ened citizen can expect anything from them in that direction or from their party, as they are in the majority and control it's course. That is why say that the Republican lead CTS should take up the civil service reform idea and push it. Their party is the only one that can bring about the reform.
 The full report of the interview between Anarchist Most and the court clerk who re- fused to accept his declaration of intention to become citizen is interesting reading. The clerk asked Johann whether he believed in the constitution of the United States, and whether he was we'll disposed towards the peace and happiness of the American people. Johann said he did, and he was. The clerk asked him if he believed in obey ing the laws legally enacted. Johann said he did, provided they were good laws. To

General N. 7, Banks tells story abou
one OF bis army chaplains which neve
fails to bring down" the G. A, Il, camI
fires. The chaplains of the regiments
during the war bad charge OF the mails
for the regiments TO which they wef,
attached. The mail for the regiment ol
this particular chaplain had not come to
hand for many days. The regiment was
out OF line OF communication. Every day
from one half to two.thirds of the soldier
boys filed up to the chaplain's tent with
such sterotyped inquiries as these:
"Any mail yet, chaplain
Have you heard from the mail?"
do you know when the mail will come
in?"
The good man was 80 pestered with
inquiries that he had no time TO prepare
his weekly sermon. He was obliged to
spend all his time explaining that he had
no mail, that he had heard nothing about
the mail and that he knew nothing about
the mail. II occurred to him that he
might put an end to his troubles by
sign. Procuring the bottom of an old
hardtack box he marked it with charcoal
and nailed it on tree in front OF his tent
all might see the notice.
THE CHAPLAIN DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE
MAIL WILL ARRIVE.
The next anxious inquirer who came
along was reckless young wag. He gazed
for while at the notice, and discovering
the piece OF charcoal which the chaplain
had dropped on the ground at the COM
pletion Of the sign, he seized it and added
these words.
AND HE DOESN'T CARE CONTINENTAL.
The chaplain took in the sign and never
put another one.

They are Appreciated

Michigan has an agricultural society
which appreciates the service Of the news
paper, and the complimentary ticket
which it issues to newspaper men reads as
follows:
This ticket has probably been paid for
a dozen time over by the paper to which 1t
is issued. II will be honored In the hands
Of any man, woman or child, white or
black, red or yellow, who fayors the asso-
citation by presenting II. II is good for
entrance and grand stand, and the bearer,
il driving, will be entitled TO pass team
free. The association recognizes the fact
that its splendid success is owing largely,
If not wholly, to the notices so freely given
by the press, and while we cannot return
an equivalent in cash, we return our CRATE
ful thanks"
In commenting on the above, an ex-
change justly and pithily says that II
knows Of some associations aud great
many individuals who seem TO think the
columns Of newspaper ought to be at
their command at all times without price,
money, or even thank you" They look
upon newspaper complimentary ticket
as generous GIT and upon the recipient
as dead head To such we commend
a careful reading OF the above extract to
be stored in the memory against the time
when they desire the publication Of news
which is nothing more or less than gra
tuitous advertising.
